Test Yourself 4.3 (page 69) 1. (a) B oxygen is O2 and will consist of the same molecule. (b) C chlorine is Cl2, therefore there will be two types of molecules, each containing two atoms. (c) A ammonia is NH3 and carbon dioxide is CO2. A is the only diagram that has molecules containing 3 and 4 atoms. 2. Elements gold dust bromine Matter Compounds Mixtures duralumin ink honey

6. (a) (i) Nickel, sulphur, oxygen (ii) Copper, hydrogen, oxygen (iii) Sulphur, oxygen (b) Na3AlF6 7. (a) Carbon, hydrogen, lead (b) 8 (c) 29 8. A: hydrogen chloride B: water C: ammonia D: methane

9. (a) Group 1: C2H6, C6H6 They are compounds of carbon and hydrogen. Group 2: C2H4O2, C3H6O2 They are compounds containing three elements C, H and O. Group 3: CH5N, NH3 These compounds contain the element nitrogen. (b) The gases in air have their individual properties. This means that the gases are not chemically combined. The proportion of the various gases in air is not fixed. The various gases can be separated by physical means. Critical Thinking (page 73) It will be a colourless, odourless, neutral gas that is denser than air and insoluble in water. It is also unreactive and exists as single atoms.
